Existing technologies and technological processes in production areas in the overwhelming majority are open systems in which natural resources are inefficiently used and significant waste is generated. Irrational water use and environmental degradation in traditional irrigation zones necessitate an analysis of the problems of environmental assessment and the applicability of irrigation systems, which makes this study relevant. The article aims to develop a methodology for assessing the technological process in agrolandscape systems from the point of view of resource conservation, ensuring strict regulation of environmentally friendly and waste-free technology and technological schemes for irrigating crops. The main principles of non-waste production process technologies are used. On the basis of them, a system of integral criteria for assessing the environmental reliability of irrigation technology and irrigation systems is presented, which allows creating an environmentally safe resource-saving technological process in agrolandscape systems. It was concluded that the task of managing the agro-industrial complex should be the creation of environmentally sustainable agricultural landscapes. The results of the study can be the basis for the formation of sustainable management decisions in the management of the agro-industrial complex from the standpoint of resource saving

According to the studies carried out by the US Geological Survey (USGS) under the project GFSAD30, Russia ranks fourth in the world in the number of fertile lands. However, today there are some problems that “slow down” the development of the Russia’s agricultural sector, including the rice-planting complex. One of the main problems of the Russian agro-industrial complex is unsustainable environmental management, which leads to inefficiency and sometimes loss of agricultural production. This is caused by the “rigidity” of the legal framework, the reluctance or inability of the economy to switch to new resourcesaving technologies, as well as the fear of partially or completely losing the crop when switching to new technologies. For the “soft” transition of the economy to new resource-saving technologies, we propose a resource-saving technology for cultivating rice on underground drip irrigation under mulch film on rice irrigation systems, the introduction of which proved its effectiveness, as well as the relevance of our study. The efficiency of proposed resource-saving technology of rice cultivation on drip irrigation is expressed in the increase of profitability of rice production by 26%, reduction of irrigation norm by more than 5 times, labor intensity of rice production by 42% and material costs by 24%. The proposed technology not only reduced the anthropogenic load, but also improved the land reclamation condition, including the situation in the rice irrigation ecosystem. Further development of drip technologies in the rice sector of Russia will allow developing fundamentally new, ecological-reclamative, balanced rice crop rotation with the inclusion of vegetable and cucurbits crops. The proposed technology will provide an opportunity to cultivate rice outside rice irrigation systems on previously rich lands, which will give agro-industrial workers new opportunities and prospects in rice production.

In the Republic of Tatarstan sunflower is cultivated on an area of 100 or more thousands of hectares and tends to grow as a high-margin crop. Therefore, the introduction of resource-saving sunflower cultivation technology, which provides 25-30 centners per hectare of high-quality, environmentally safe oilseeds based on planning and operational management of crops, taking into account the results of geoinformation systems of intrafield variability of plant habitat, is an actual problem of the modern agro-industrial complex of the Republic of Tatarstan and the Russian Federation as a whole. In addition, the differentiated application of mineral fertilizers, soil cultivation to the optimum depth, precise sowing with respect to the parameters between the rows and the distance between the seeds in the rows, sealing the seeds to the same depth, optimizing plant care, predicting and harvesting losses without loss real under conditions of wide use of GIS-technologies in agriculture. In this regard, this article looks at promising areas of application of GIS technologies in the production of sunflower oilseeds.

In modern conditions, the objective necessity for the functioning of agro-industrial complex enterprises is the maintenance of management accounting and the formation of internal management reporting. The latter contains information that is used by the organization’s management to make informed operational and strategic management decisions. However, when developing the format for internal reporting, problems arise with determining the set of indicators necessary to assess the effectiveness of the financial and economic activities of the enterprise. The purpose of the research is to substantiate theoretical provisions and develop practical recommendations for improving the formation of internal reporting on reclamation work. The use of the approach proposed in the work makes it possible to create a system of accounting and analytical information for solving organizational, economic and production problems arising in the process of functioning of agricultural enterprises. Within the framework of the study, the following internal management reports were proposed: “Main directions and estimated volume of capital investments in reclamation work”, “Sources of financing for reclamation work”, “Assessment of the economic efficiency of reclamation work” and “Indicators characterizing the production and technological process of reclamation work”. The use of the proposed forms makes it possible to preliminarily assess the need for financing, the volume of the proposed reclamation work and production on the reclaimed land; compare the actual level of indicators with the planned, assess the degree of implementation of the plan and characterize the measures to achieve the set goals; to assess the commercial efficiency of reclamation investment projects from the point of view of an agricultural producer as the only participant in the project, and also to characterize the production technological process for the implementation of reclamation works

Rising consumer attraction towards superfoods and the steadily increasing demand for healthy, environmentally sustainable, and regionally produced food products has sharpened the demand for chia. Over the course of 4 years, two early flowering chia varieties belonging to Salvia hispanica L., and Salvia columbariae Benth. Species were identified to complete their phenological development and, therefore, able to reach maturity under a photoperiod >12 h, thus enabling the cultivation of chia in central Europe—more specifically, in southwestern Germany—consistently for the first time. Results obtained by the conducted field trial in 2018 showed that chia seed yields and thousand-seed mass ranged from 284.13 to 643.99 kg ha−1 and 0.92 to 1.36 g, respectively. Further, the statistical analyses showed that the protein content of the cultivated chia varieties ranged from 22.14 to 27.78%, the mucilage content varied from 10.35 to 20.66%, and the crude oil content amounted up to 28.00 and 31.73%. Fatty acid profiles were similar to previously reported data with α-Linolenic acid being the most prominent one, ranging from 60.40 to 65.87%, and we obtained ω6:ω3 ratios between 0.2 and 0.3. In conclusion, chia could represent a promising raw material from a nutritional point of view, while being able to diversify the local food basis of southwestern Germany.

The paper is devoted to the analysis of the state of the equipment recycling system in Russia and the issues of improving the legislative framework that accompanies it. The role of state structures in solving the problems of forming a resource-saving ecooriented system for the disposal of decommissioned equipment is reflected. To analyze the work in the field of waste management, to reflect the state of the legislative framework for the existing system of recycling equipment in Russia and abroad, to make recommendations for its improvement. Problems with waste appear when, in the process of production and consumption of substances, objects (equipment), he/she becomes unnecessary for their owners, their owner tries to get rid of this object in the most accessible way. According to numerous information, the disposal of equipment in Russia is mainly carried out (black waste collectors), which control more than 60 % of the scrap of non-ferrous and ferrous metals, so the solution to the problem of creating an effective system for the disposal of equipment becomes not just relevant, but vital for our state. The scientific community in Russia is constantly conducting research on the creation and implementation of a system for the disposal of decommissioned equipment, so, for example, MADI scientists proposed a regional car recycling system for implementation, the scientists of the Federal State Budgetary Educational Institution FNAC VIM also developed a regional system for the disposal of agricultural recycling equipment. In order to quickly solve the problem of working out a general strategy for creating an effective system of recycling equipment in Russia, taking into account the revision of the legislative framework, it is advisable to "run-in" it at the industry level, for example, in the agroindustrial complex, with subsequent replication in other industries.

Relevance. The preservation, reproduction and rational use of agricultural soil fertility is the main condition for the stable development of the agro-industrial complex. Mechanical tillage systems, the use of mineral and microbiological fertilizers are one of the main links in adaptive landscape farming systems. In the conditions of a sharp decrease in the rates of fertilizer application, an increase in the imbalance of elements of mineral nutrition of plants observed in recent years in agroecosystems, the function of improving the regimes of chernozems, preserving their fertility is designed to perform resource-saving technologies of soil cultivation in combination with effective methods of using agrochemicals that combine environmental and economic feasibility.Methods. The experiments were laid in 2017–2019 on chernozem heavy loamy soils typical for most farms in the Ulyanovsk region. The object of the study is spring wheat, the variety Ulyanovskaya 100. The subject of the study is the methods of tillage, doses of mineral fertilizers, the biological product "BisolbiFit". The following technological methods of using the biological product were studied: seed treatment before sowing, non-root treatment of vegetating plants and a combination of these methods. The experiment was carried out on three backgrounds: N0P0K0 (control); 2) N30P30K30; 3) N60P60K60.Results. It was found that the best nitrification ability was possessed by variants with fine combback and comb-back with soil-deepening treatment, in which the weighted average content of nitrate nitrogen was 3.29–3.33 mg/100 g, which is 35–36%; 26–28%; 43–44% more than with fine, conventional non-dump and dump treatment respectively. Plowing improved the conditions of phosphorus and potassium nutrition of plants by 25–37% and 6–14% compared to other treatments. When N30P30K30 and N60 P60 K60 were applied to the soil, the content of nitrate nitrogen increased by 46 and 91%, phosphorus — by 0–14% and potassium — by 6 and 21% compared to the nonfertilized background. More effective in terms of the effect on the productivity of spring wheat were comb-shaped treatments, where the average yield was 2.89–2.94 t/ha, which exceeded the usual plowing by 0.19–0.24 t/ha. The greatest increase in yield was obtained when combining the methodsseed treatment + spraying of vegetative plants with the biological preparation "BisolbiFit". On an unfertilized background, the increase in grain yield was -0.71, on the background of N30P30K30 — 1.04, on the background of N60P60K60 — 1.56 t/ha.
